Hi Dino,

That’s really early! Where do you stay?[/quote]

BM area… house not really that far from school but I think they try to fill up the bus by going to many places thats why… I am hoping the situation gets better when there are more children next time

Dear fellow mommies...


My dd will be registering for school this year, and we are in the telok blangah area. Any mommies staying In the same area..is traffic in the
Morning ok?

I am not familiar with the schools there but heard APS is a new school. Can mommies help to share about their feel of the school so far? What you like..what you don't like...? Are there a lot of work at P1?

How is the culture (or still new?) at the school and teachers at P1? Are kids allowed to play during recess or before school or are they strict about sitting down all the time?

Any sharing of experience shall be very gratefully received...:)

Have a good week ahead!

Hi mommabear,


I'm happy with the school so far.

I'm staying near Telok Blangah and going to school in the morning is no problem. Traffic is generally clear and it takes at most 15 mins drive to reach the school. Sch starts at 8am but the pupils are expected to arrive by 730am.

As it is a new school, it is difficult to gauge how good or bad it is. But I have a good feeling about the school so far. There isn't a lot of homework for my child. In fact, none at all on most days. Assessments (the sch calls them bite-sized assessments) are not only confined to the typical tests but include show-and-tell and poetry recitation as well.

There are 2 teachers (one form and co-form) to a class of 30. Parents-Teachers meetings are conducted at the end of each term. However, they are not on a one-to-one basis (a minor drawback for me as I prefer to speak to the teachers on my child's progress individaully) but done as a class.

The pupils are supposed to silent-read from the time they arrive till the school bell rings. Recess time is divided into 2 sessions: 930 to 10 and 10-1030am. The pupils are allowed to go to the playground once they've finished eating. The library is also opened during recess time.

Hope this helps

Thank you, marzipan. Sounds good to me, but agree on the PTM should be done individually too

[mommabear]

Thank you so much Marzipan! I am very grateful for your sharing of the school experience.
